JEON MIN SEOK won an Ikelite DS-232 strobe from Ikelite

I am an underwater photographer who mainly photographs seahorses in Korea. To witness the birth of the Korean seahorse in 2022, I successfully filmed it by diving at night. However, I got to know a diving site in Kumamoto, Japan, where there are many seahorses in Japan and the climate is better than in Korea, and in July this year, I was able to contact a local guide to film the birth of the seahorse while diving at night. Among the macro subjects, seahorses are relatively large and have poor vision, so I captured the moment when a baby seahorse comes out of my father’s stomach using a 35mm macro lens with a wide field of view and a continuous shooting function. Seahorses mate and give birth several times a year, but since it is very difficult to know the date and time, I was able to shoot by diving from 00 : 00 a.m. to the next morning.
